Breaking: Hillary Just Got Some Of The Worst News So Far That Could Mean Serious Trouble For Campaign

For the first time in the campaign, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is beating Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton, according to a Fox News poll released Thursday.

The poll shows Sanders, who a month ago was trailing Clinton 49 percent to 37 percent, leading her 47 percent to 44 percent.

“One thing that is clear from our poll — and others — is that Clinton has been losing support and Sanders has been gaining,” says Democratic pollster Chris Anderson. “And this process appears to have accelerated since the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.”

“Historically, lesser-known candidates beating establishment candidates in early contests have seen the biggest boost in their national support,” said Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducted the Fox News poll along with Anderson.

Among women, Clinton’s lead over Sanders has all but evaporated. Over the last two Fox News polls, Clinton’s lead among women went from 28 points to only three.

“Blue-collar, white Democrats have been a major source of Clinton’s defection,” Shaw added.

55 percent of voters overall said that Clinton does not have the integrity to be president; 64 percent of independents felt so.

52 percent said they were “tired of Clintons running for president”; 59 percent said that about the Bush family.

60 percent said Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state put the nation at risk.

The Fox News poll was conducted from Feb.15-17, 2016. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points for responses from all registered voters, and 4.5 points for the Democratic primary voters.
